# Bridge via NOXCAT

### Overview

NOXCAT allows you to transfer assets across supported blockchains in just a few steps. You can access the bridge using either the **NOXCAT Wallet** or any compatible Web3 wallet, such as **MetaMask** or **Binance Wallet**.

### Before You Start

Before bridging, make sure that:

* You have a supported wallet connected.
* You have sufficient balance of the token you wish to bridge.
* You have enough native tokens on the **source chain** to pay the transaction (gas) fee.

> **Note:** You only need gas on the **source chain**. No additional gas is required on the destination chain to receive your bridged assets.

### Steps

#### Step 1. Open the Bridge

Use your preferred wallet and visit: [**https://dapp.noxcat.io/bridge**](https://dapp.noxcat.io/bridge)

#### Step 2. Select Your Networks and Tokens

Choose:

* **Source Chain** (the blockchain you're sending assets from)
* **Source Token**
* **Destination Chain**
* **Destination Token**

The bridge will automatically determine the transaction type based on your selection:

* **Bridge:** The source and destination tokens are the same (e.g., USDC on Ethereum → USDC on Arbitrum).
* **Cross-Chain Swap:** The source and destination tokens are different (e.g., ETH on Ethereum → USDC on Base).

#### Step 3. Enter the Amount

Input the amount you want to transfer.

Review the estimated amount you'll receive, network fees, and routing information before proceeding.

#### Step 4. Confirm the Transaction

Click **Bridge** (or **Swap**, depending on the transaction type) and approve the transaction in your wallet.

The transaction will be submitted on the **source chain**, where the network gas fee will be charged.

#### Step 5. Wait for Completion

After the transaction is confirmed on the blockchain, your assets will be delivered to the destination chain.

The completion time may vary depending on network conditions and the selected bridge route.

### Transaction Summary

| Scenario                          | Result            |
| --------------------------------- | ----------------- |
| Same token on both chains         | Bridge            |
| Different tokens across chains    | Cross-Chain Swap  |
| Gas required                      | Source chain only |
| Gas required on destination chain | No                |

### Expected Result

Once the transaction is completed, your assets will appear in your wallet on the destination chain. If you performed a cross-chain swap, you will receive the destination token you selected.
